Copy/paste files not working with files "copied" in external applications #569

Open rondonjon opened 8 years ago

rondonjon commented 8 years ago

I am using Xubuntu 14.04. When I "copy" a file in the OS file manager and switch back to atom, atom offers me to "paste" into project folders in the tree view, but this doesn't work. I choose paste, and nothing happens. I am not even getting an error message. Just as if the OS clipboard and the atom clipboard were two completely different things.

This happens with me as well. Mac OS X El Capitan with Atom 1.4.3.

I just lost a load of changes due to the inverse of this as well (copying them from the tree view in atom then going to paste them in the Finder and nothing happening).

Me too, I have the same problem using Atom 1.16.0 on macOS Sierra 10.12.2

Same problem here with Atom 1.20.1 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6. Can't copy and paste images from Finder into a project folder on Atom.

I hope this can be fixed! Would really help workflow... Same issue:

Atom 1.23.2 x64 MacOS High Sierra 10.13.2

*Applies to all files from Finder Clipboard as far as I can tell.

However Drag n Drop from Finder works perfectly fine, so for now I duplicate, drag and rename.

It doesn't look like Chrome or Electron supports this yet.

UziTech commented 6 years ago

@50Wliu is there an issue created in electron for this?

UziTech commented 6 years ago

I found a few but they are all closed

50Wliu commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately I forget what I was looking at when deciding that this was blocked, but I believe there aren't any HTML or Electron APIs that recognize externally-copied files.

this is realy inconvenient.

I see the tree view use localStorage for internal copy paste. https://github.com/atom/tree-view/blob/v0.228.1/lib/tree-view.coffee#L710-L711

May be this or some other package can utilize system clipboard public.file-url to do this image

I made a plugin that enables native-like Clipboard operations tree-view-clipboard.

It only supports windows atm, honestly not sure what all versions will work since I don't really develop in .NET or c#.

Hope this helps someone :)
